Motorists have been warned to ensure they have completed the correct process for taking their vehicles off the road this winter.
Due to the cost of living crisis or a change in circumstances, many drivers may not be using their cars in the coming months, opting to keep them unused in a garage instead.
But before doing this, drivers must inform the DVLA if their car is untaxed and away from the roads, or they could face a fine of up to £1000.
